Thanks for the kind words.

My youngest son has a regular Optima and he shoots a 250 Shockwave over 80 to 90 grains of Pyro P. That should work fine for mulies out to 100 yards. He didn't draw for elk but it would probably be fine for that too.

My oldest son shoots an Apex loaded with a 250 Shockwave over 130gr of pyro pellets. That load shoots very flat and allows for 200+ yards of point blank range on a 5 to 6 inch target.

I'm still deciding on which gun to use for my hunt. I really like shooting my Scoped Magbolt with either a 250 or 300 Shockwave or a 460 conical and get good groups out to 200+ yards with it. I also like shooting my Lyman GPH with the 460 conicals and feel good out to around 200 yards with it and the peep sight set up it has. I guess I'll just have to keep playing with both until I decide which one gets the nod. The other will be my back up gun.

I will try to post results as things develop. If everything works out we may try to sneak in a Mississippi whitetail hunt between the other hunts, just have to wait and see whats going on with my job situation.
